Ryder System how announced the launch of Ryder NaviShare™, a cloud-based platform that provides real-time shipment visibility, predictive alerts, and exception dashboards.

The technology is accessible through a customer-facing website and mobile application that utilizes cellular and GPS technology to link shippers with onboard vehicle technologies.

The system is designed to provide real-time visibility and event management capabilities to shippers, and deliver information updates and routing instructions to drivers.
It’s expected to be Navailable to all Ryder customers in North America in the third quarter of 2017.

According to Steve Sensing, President of Global Supply Chain Solutions, Ryder, “NaviShare ultimately gives our customers the ability to cut costs and improve operating efficiencies, all through a simple, digital experience. The end result is better customer service.”

The approach provides real-time information regarding load status, tracking status, carriers, shippers, customers, origins, and destinations. A user – which can be a shipper, carrier/driver, or dispatcher – is able to toggle among multiple features for each load, including stops, maps, updates, and messages. If there is a delay in a shipment while in transit, NaviShare alerts the shipper and recipient, and provides the shipper with a list of re-routing options. The software application also has the capability to track shipments at a SKU/part level and to monitor the condition of the load.

The NaviShare platform is transportation management system agnostic. The front-end user experience is combined with Ryder’s logistics engineering services on the backend to deliver a proactive and unique platform.
